The Master of Education in School Counseling is a 36-hour, non-thesis professional development program leading to the Professional School Counselor Certificate. The program is designed to meet or exceed the certification requirements for School Counselors as established by the State Board for Educator Certification. The program is interdisciplinary and builds on the candidate's prior education and experience. A systematic schedule of shared self-appraisals, threaded throughout the program, allows graduate candidates to monitor their progress toward professional goals in partnership with other forms of student development.

Upon the successful completion of the Master of Education in School Counseling at Dallas Baptist University, passing the School Counselor Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES), and submitting your teacher service record ("teacher of record") indicating two years of teaching experience in K-12 public or private schools, the candidate will be recommended for the Texas School Counselor Certificate.
